Bentley ProjectWise CONNECT Edition Joins MicroStation and Navigator CONNECT Editions in General Access
The Year in Infrastructure 2015 Conference - Bentley Systems,
Incorporated, a leading global provider of software solutions for advancing
infrastructure, reported today that attendees at its Year in
Infrastructure 2015 Conference in London were enthusiastically
sharing their experiences and encouragement regarding its new CONNECT
Edition software generation. CONNECT Edition
provides a common environment for comprehensive project delivery. At
this time ProjectWise CONNECT Edition, MicroStation CONNECT
Edition, and Navigator CONNECT Edition are all in General
Access, and users are starting to take full advantage of advancements.
ProjectWise CONNECT Edition
With ProjectWise CONNECT Edition, this "workhorse for work
sharing" advances from Design Integration to collaboration for
comprehensive project delivery, adding hybrid cloud services for
Deliverables Management, issues resolution, and Engineering Content
Management.
What Early Adopters Are Saying
-
"Hatch Mott MacDonald first implemented ProjectWise
for secure design collaboration and engineering document work sharing.
However, in today's advancing project delivery environment, it is more
important than ever to easily and securely share our models and
associated project information, to expedite communications and design
clarity with the entire supply chain. Now with ProjectWise CONNECT
Edition, we have a more comprehensive project delivery platform -
virtually connecting our partners and remote team members to project
information and processes with a focus on data quality for planning,
design, construction, and handover to operations." - Cory Dippold,
PE., Project Technologies Director, Hatch Mott MacDonald
-
"As we embark on our first design-build project - Long Street in EMIA
- the demand for improved collaboration is an imperative. As a
long-standing user of ProjectWise, we have already seen
significant increases in team productivity and better design quality.
Now with ProjectWise CONNECT Edition, we have an easy-to-use,
secure cloud-based environment supporting the entire project
lifecycle. This powerful capability will simplify documentation
workflow for critical project information, especially with our supply
chain. It provides an excellent end-user interface to manage
submissions, transmittals, and RFIs and helps us to standardize our
workflows, allowing us to implement this AECOM standard on future
design and build projects with minimum effort. The CONNECT Edition
provides our senior management teams with real-time project status in
one simple dashboard. The Long Street Project required us to reinvent
and standardize the design-build process as only AECOM could by
leveraging our scale, and in working closely with Bentley our project
communications and visibility will not only be improved dramatically,
but also allow AECOM to offer something unique to the market." - Nuzrul
Haque, Director, IT Business Relationship Management, AECOM
Information Technology
-
"We struggle with reliably and consistently capturing field data on a
daily basis. Our current process includes field books that can be lost
and laptops that are clunky and can get broken. Being able to enter
data into quick, easy-to-access forms from a mobile device is the wave
of the future." - David Haskin, Senior Applications Specialist,
Burns & McDonnell
-
"Arup is looking forward to the ProjectWise CONNECT Edition
so that we can extend our BIM collaboration capabilities and advance
them to the next level. Communications with external project team
members, through the use of Transmittal and RFI (News - Alert) cloud services will
increase productivity, minimize mistakes, and reduce project risk.
Dashboards will also allow Arup to monitor project performances by
harvesting the rich attribute data in our BIM projects." - Will
Sims, Associate Director, ProjectWise Administrator, ARUP
MicroStation CONNECT Edition
MicroStation CONNECT Edition advances Bentley's common modeling
environment for unified support of design modeling, analytical modeling,
construction modeling, and reality modeling.
What Early Adopters Are Saying
-
"Maintaining a digital component catalog of every
permutation/combination of objects has been challenging at best. The
ability to have these objects be dynamic and reusable will save us
constant setup/rework hours at the beginning of a job. ... The days of
modeling existing conditions from as-builts are diminishing in favor
of more progressive reality capture techniques. The application of
this dynamic technology is proving to be incredibly important to our
workflow." - Paul Patterson, Senior Specialist, Hatch Mott MacDonald
-
"MicroStation CONNECT Edition's ability to automatically create
reports and schedules on the fly based on object intelligence helps us
to deliver reliable and consistent drawings. And having
property-driven annotation streamlines the process of making design
changes too, because the deliverables stay up to date when changes
happen. Plus, we can precisely control the appearance of tables, such
as color and line weights, based on project standards. All this
translates into better deliverables in less time!" - Marty Price,
Senior Application Specialist, Burns & McDonnell
-
"This new version of MicroStation is a HUGE step in the right
direction. The new interface is very easy to understand and
customize." - Marc Schroeder, Andrews, Hammock and Power, Inc.
Navigator CONNECT Edition
The Navigator CONNECT Edition "app-lication" extends the
common, connected experience for users from office to site or field. Its
advances are highlighted by model-based visual reporting and, with the
addition of ProjectWise, issue resolution.
What Early Adopters Are Saying
-
We used Navigator CONNECT Edition in the office, in
anticipation of an upcoming project; its overall usability was
superior to other systems and planners we have tried. For scheduling
and meeting deliverables, being able to look into 3D modeling and
define future stages was beneficial. The ability to share real-time
project data with other colleagues working remotely on the same
project was invaluable." - Doug Harper, Construction
Superintendent, Melloy Industrial Services, Inc.
-
"Navigator CONNECT Edition brings a consistent medium for
geometry and data consumers residing in our local offices or via
tablets from our sites, whether internal to IBI Group or a part of our
extended teams. Some of our largest projects are harnessing this
capability to bring information sourced by various tools - InRoads,
Revit, MicroStation
- together into one integrated platform. The data provenance is
critical as the business information of specific assets carry through
to the i-model format, allowing full interrogation of content
consistently when accessed via ProjectWise
or Worksite.
The navigation engine is smooth, thus allowing us to easily traverse
both the vertical buildings, along with linear infrastructure - site,
rail and utilities. Overall Navigator CONNECT Edition
has the potential to be the connection that binds our stakeholders
together during major infrastructure projects." - Brent Mauti,
Architect, Global Director, Design Technology, IBI Group
